Amora watched absentmindedly as the movie she chose, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, came to an end. She didn't know why but she always loved how complex this movie was and yet was still completely normal. Amora turned and looked over to Vision and Wanda, Wanda had her eyes nearly bulged out with something soft behind them while Vision looked utterly confused. She sighed as she slowly got up from the couch and pulled out her movie that she had offered up for their movie marathon. Like Wanda before her, she turned around and faced the two as she waited for their opinion.
Vision was the first to speak, "I am so confused"
"Why?" Amora and Wanda both let out.
"Well, because… they both went through treatment to get over one another and then decided to try again?" Vision explained, "Shouldn't they have left it alone?"
Amora commented, "But Joel didn't want to leave it alone, Clementine was just hesitant of the relationship"
"So why not just tell him that and not go through with the procedure" Vision stated, "How much money did that procedure cost?"
Wanda and Amora groaned, "Vis, it's a movie… some movies are okay to have irrational plots just to get their point across"
Vision stood up, "Which is why I have my selection; it is a psychological horror that truly stands out in its own genre and will leave you guessing… The Tenant"
Wanda made a face at the cover, "It looks old"
"Yes, it was made in 1976" Vision turned to Amora, "And also scored a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes"
Amora shrugged, "Alright, put it on"
She plopped herself down onto the couch she was on as Vision hurriedly went to put his DVD in. The two girls exchanged a glance as they noticed how excited their friend was about his own film. When he turned back around, he immediately sat down next to Wanda and anticipated its start. Wanda couldn't help but let out a chuckle and gently touched Vision's arm as Amora turned her attention back to the screen and watched the film.
Amora couldn't help but notice the two on the other couch; always laughing with one another, talking, and sometimes lean in for a gentle push. It made her sad as she wondered if that would've happened between her and Pietro. The more Wanda and Vision started to develop a crush for one another, it became more and more difficult for her to even be near them.
"Excuse me" Amora got up.
"Where are you going?" Vision asked as she straightened herself out.
"Just going to change into PJs" Amora told him.
"We can hand you the throw blanket that's here" Wanda gestured behind them.
"No, no, it's okay" Amora smiled to them, "I'd rather change"
Amora turned to leave once more but Vision got up as he said, "Shall we pause the movie for you?"
"No, keep it on" Amora called over her shoulder.
Amora just barely made it over to her room before she heard someone call for her, "Amora?"
She turned and noticed Vision at her door, "May I come in?"
"Of course" Amora told him, "What's up?"
"I just want to apologize if the Accords has put some sort of strain on our friendship" Vision stated, "I value your friendship, and respect your decision to not turn back time but I also feel that agreeing to this deal will help keep us all together. I'm sorry if this… lockdown has made you feel otherwise"
Despite her own personal disagreement, Amora smiled to her friend and said, "It's fine, Vision, we all have different views and it clearly showed the other day but whether you agree with me or not I don't care, just as long as you don't see me differently"
Vision seemed happy with what she said as he nodded and pointed to the door, "We will be waiting for you, hurry back"
Vision quickly closed the door as Amora could hear his footsteps leading back to the living room. Amora felt her heart weigh a lot more than it actually did as she let out a breath and pulled her hair back.
She won't be coming back.
Amora knelt down and pulled out her yellow backpack as she double checked that she had all of her essentials with her. Since it would look suspicious to go in the jet, Amora had to buy an airplane ticket by herself. She looked at the pictures that she gathered and the locations, trying to remember them as she placed her bag over her shoulder. Amora closed her eyes as she felt her power working, slowly turning something in her before she felt her body tingle all over before a last big spark happened, making Amora open her eyes. She glanced down to her watch as she noticed it was five days before her house arrest.
Amora quickly went out of her room and nearly collided with Sam, "Woah!"
"Sorry" Amora told him.
"Where are you heading off to?" Sam asked.
"Just wanted to go on a hike, clear my head, see if it changes anything" Amora mentioned.
Sam scoffed, "Yeah, I know what you mean"
Amora knew she shouldn't ask this but it was the only way that Sam wouldn't act suspicious, "Wanna come?"
"I'd love to, blondie, but I want to be there for Steve, you know?" Sam said.
Amora made a pained face as she turned to him, "I feel so stupid, I should've thought about Steve also, maybe I shouldn't go and accompany you guys"
"Nah, that's not necessary" Sam shook his head, "I barely got a yes from him an hour ago, I highly doubt he'd want the whole team there"
"Right" Amora nodded, "I'm glad you're going to be there for him"
"Thanks" Sam gave her a pat on her shoulder, "You take pictures for me on your hike and I'll send you a postcard"
Amora smiled to him, "Deal!"
Sam gave her a wink as Amora walked off over to the garage where she was finally alone. She took out the keys to the car that she usually favors and hopped into the driver's seat, knowing her plane leaves in four hours. Amora turned on the car as the garage door sensed a car started as it slowly moved its doors open. Amora stared out into the blinding light as it beckoned for her to leave, her heart pounding inside her chest as her palms began to sweat.
She placed the vehicle in drive as she whispered, "Forgive me, you guys"
